  • Episode 154: #FireStorm #Lies #California #FuneralForDemocracy
    Jan 13 2025

    Cathy and Troy debunk the firestorm of lies surrounding the horrendous and heartbreaking wildfires in Los Angeles. Never missing an opportunity to spread division, Donald Trump and his army of miserable right-wing influencers push dangerous lies disparaging public officials, including fire fighters, and mock the suffering of Californians. Shame on them.

    Political personalities on full display at Jimmy Carter's funeral, with all former presidents and first ladies, along with Kamala and Dougie, forced to endure the stinky presence of Donald and Melania Trump. Its amazing that he actually showed up. Obama gets heat for sharing a moment of brevity with the soon to be 47th. While George W. Bush, Kamala, and Karen Pence blot out the sun with the amount of shade.

    And TikTok prepares to shut off the lights in the United States, barring a last minute save from SCOTUS, Biden, or even Trump. Tune in to see where you can find us after the clock app falls. We hope you had the time of your lives...

  • Episode 153: #Eulogy #Legacy #Luigi #Empire
    Jan 6 2025

    Cathy and Troy remember the legacy of Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States, who is often tarnished by Republicans because he was defeated by Ronald Reagan, but it was Carter who restored dignity to the White House and attempted to re-build an America based on compassion, civil rights, and public service, while Reagan built a United States of rampant consumerism, greed, corruption, and the destruction of the middle class.

    CEO avenger Luigi Mangioni heads to trial with a high powered Manhattan Attorney and pleads not guilty. Will he be acquitted? Whatever you think of his methods, Luigi has ushered in a new era of class consiousness and dread for CEO's who have delared war on working people for decades.

    And Donald Trump threatens imperial expansion into Greenland, Panama, Canada and Mexico while the U.S. media sane washes his plans as akin to the Loiusiana Purchase. Are we heading into WW3 at the hands of the man whose supporters said was the only one who could bring world peace?

    Cathy and Troy break down real world war of 5 (6? 7?) kings, with a potential alliance brewing between the U.S. and Putin's Russia, against Europe, Asia and Latin America tying their fortunes to China.

    Dec 9 2024

    Cathy and Troy discuss the stunning events in Syria over the weekend, with the brutal Assad regime falling after 13 years of civil war, and the Syrian people finally liberated in a sequence of events tied to other geopolitical earthquakes, like a challenge to the pro-Russia government in Georgia, and a military coup put down in South Korea.

    People all over the world are fighting back against authoritarianism. Will that come home to the U.S.?

    And a faceless John Doe becomes an unexpected celebrity after gunning down the CEO of a health insurance company famous for denying needed healthcare access to its customers. Is it right to celebrate the death of really bad people?

    Is this the tipping point for French Revolution 2.0, as billionaire oligarchs prepare to take over the U.S. government, and a whole generation raised on gun violence and active shooter drills prepares to push back in the exact way society taught them how to.
